Kill Me Dead: A Memoir

Unearthed from her diary, Kill Me Dead: A Memoir reveals an intimate perspective of UK Dorsey's breaking point, living as an ESL teacher and plotting her own death on the mysterious, distant island of Japan. Suicidal thoughts gnaw at the fabric of her life, attempting to shred it to pieces. She had planned to spend her last days on earth with strangers. She would die of starvation and loneliness. She would leave pages filled with bitter words.

On her journey to salvation, she is harassed by a five-year-old Japanese girl, sleeps on the streets of Tokyo, soaks naked in an onsen with strangers, and rides in a seductive taxi. Combining humor and anguish, UK speaks to those who contemplate suicide. She urges one to appreciate the simple things in life.
